Others may differ, I'm inclined to leave him be. If he decides to start clogging the board with illegible nonsense, that's a different issue. But he doesn't seem to be doing that.

Harmless or not, 28 posts and no valid Intro. Have you just waived the Intro requirement? I don't get that.

Re: Sugar Mice In The Rain

I think waiving the requirement for a valid intro is a really bad idea. Impersonating or imitating a mental disorder is withing the repertoire of professional trolls as we have seen over on the abandoned site (CatLitterIsland). I am afraid that Mr. Wombat does not truly appreciate the quality of trolls hired to destroy Red Pill sites or their capacity to play a long game, which we have seen in the past as well at the aforementioned site.

The 2016 election in USA was the biggest indicator of how far they're willing to go and how good they actually are, particularly when money is involved. I believe it is up to the men here to defend against this because we know better.

I'm drawing reference to r/theredpill here, citing that the reason I think they got quarantined by reddit is because their ideals were robustly defended by the guys on top. Despite our conflict with them, they still held true to what they believed in and refused to let trolls (or even ANYONE) take the discussion and their message in another direction, so after realizing that it wasn't going to work unless you somehow manage to remove all the guys on the top, the ones that the newbies look up to, they have to let it be and shut it down from outside.
That's not to say that there aren't any trolls AT ALL, it's just that the intent to takedown couldn't be accomplished from within.

Side note: I believe a similar situation is in progress on r/mgtow, but because the hierarchy is different there and the best are usually the guys that comment and not the mods, it will fall. One mod is all that is required with a bunch of posters who just spam stuff at a pace that you simply can't keep up, and the message becomes lost to dilution.

This forum is its own space, so it can't be quarantined in the same way but the idea still holds. Guys who are here longer and obviously know better and can defend what is right are the ones who can keep it the closest to what it's supposed to be.
We'll still be MGTOW in the end but to lose your OWN space because trolls take over is... I can't even finish that sentence.

The intro requirement helps these aformentioned seniors/veterans of the forum.

I know Colin from another site (and with the same name), and I agree with you: he is relatively harmless, but does create these incoherent threads. Not in excess, thankfully.

Some people might like the poetic side, but my vision of art is not in line with the incoherent stuff that nobody understands... Therefore I simply do not open his post, this being an exception because I am stuck at an airport.

Relating to art, I knew a guy that made an exhibit with paintings like these:
- an empty canvas, with a knife suck in the middle, title "frustration".
- an empty canvas with a small blue dot in the middle, title "iceberg".
- just an empty canvas, title "fog".

While the creativity of the titles might be entertaining for a few seconds, I hardly call this man an artist. What is the skill in creating an image that he showed?

The same way, conjuring an vivid idea with words, or making them pleasing to the ears, that is what I would call a poem.
